Despite being shot in a leg during Sunday night's rampage in Las Vegas, Thomas Gunderson found the strength to stand Wednesday when President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited his hospital room.

"Hi, Thomas. How are you? No, don't get up. Don't get up," Melania Trump can be heard saying in a video as Gunderson attempts to get out of bed.

The president entered the room shortly afterward and shook Gunderson's hand.

"Hey, this guy looks tough to me," the president said.

The 28-year-old from Newport Beach, California credited two off-duty female police officers with saving his life.

Gunderson later wrote in a Facebook post: "I will never lie down when the President of this great country comes to shake my hand!"
